I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
When i go to a party people want to talk to me. That never happened before. Otherwise, it doesn't, except for the obvious scheduling/overtime problems.

How do you go about getting your first clients?
I have no idea. You'll have to ask the agency to which you are applying. They may all have different requirements.

This may vary by county or state, but I am not because I'm a civilian employee and not a sworn officer.
Share Answer: 
It almost certainly would not be a deal-breaker. Just tell them the truth.
